We were the first to announce that a new Angry Birds Seasons update was on the horizon. Well, the morning mist has lifted and on the horizon we see a strange new substance? Water!!! We are happy to report that the latest Angry Birds Seasons update, named Piglantis (v2.4.0) is now available for iOS, PC, Mac, Playbook, and Android via Google Play (Android Market) and the Amazon Appstore! As you might expect, things are a bit different in this aquatic paradise. We’ve outlined what we know so far below:
Update for iOS: A bug fix has been released as v2.4.1.
- 30, yes 30, new aquatic levels! If we are looking for an actual “Seasons” theme, I would have to say it’s Summer again. Contrary to some guesses, all 30 levels are available right now (in other words, it’s not Advent-style). Our walkthrough videos are live.
- Golden Eggs! One Golden Egg hidden in-game, and the 3-star bonus this time around is a Big Seashell! If you need help, check out our Complete Angry Birds Seasons Golden Eggs Guide.
- Buoyancy! In the wide-open sea, you can now shoot in and out of water! The birds are buoyant enough that they will be pulled back to the surface of the water, as are wooden blocks and sardine cans. However, those bad piggies, stone blocks, and even ice/glass blocks are a bit too heavy and sink to the ocean floor. The poor piggies go pop when they hit the floor.
- No new achievements for iOS. This is expected, since there is really no space for Seasons achievements points.
- Pro Tip! Treasure chests are worth 1,000 points, but they are quite challenging to break.
- Amazing Alex, which we have more info on here, has made it’s way into Angry Birds. If you tap the icon it will take you to the Amazing Alex Facebook page.

We will continue to update this post as we learn more, and as the update lands on more platforms.

@amslimfordy I don’t know why it is 2.4.1
Possible they had to fix something really quick before releasing it.
Why does the Amazing Alex icon say “Play Now” but just takes you to the Facebook page? Did Rovio anticipate it being released by now and miss a deadline or something.
It was a bit frustrating to think it was available only to find it “coming soon” still.
No, it was not expected to be released until summer. But perhaps they decided to err on the side of caution, comparing their next expected Seasons update vs. the release of Alex. That is, if Alex is planned to come out before the next Season, this button will work properly then without requiring a minor update. (Right now it probably links to a pure redirect URL and they will change the redirection when appropriate.)
Awesome update and new material WATER!!!
How do I do the update on pc?
Do what a lot of us here do.. just go to the download page for AB, and d/l the demo. It will install over the top of previous version.
When I launched Seasons on my PC it asked me if I wanted to download the update right after it loaded. When I clicked the check mark, it automatically started donloading. My PC versions always do that.
I think the PC versions are sensitive to that for some reason. I have mine set like yours, to automatically download, then install after downloading. I haven’t had a problem with updates.
I have to admit one thing about playing the PC version… after playing FB and all the online versions for so long, you get used to how those platforms play. The reactions, sling positions.. etc.
Coming back to the PC.. I was.. uh……. lost! Kept thinking.. “how do I play this game again?” lol
=)
@amslimfordy the video walkthroughs are up… time for a post update :)
Seasons just got an update to 2.4.1 (from 2.4.0) for Android. This is for “Minor improvements to gameplay experience” which probably means fixing some bugs.
How is everyone going with the Mighty Eagle for Piglantis? I have gained 100% on about half the levels, but so many seem almost impossible to get?
The posts are coming online now. Just posted all of Chapter 1. Going to take a 5m break then post Chapter 2!

Thank you @AMslimfordy !!! 1-8 has been doing my head in lol
Do sardine cans float or sink?
Float. Will add this to the post in a few.
Love the scenery, maybe they might use the water effect for RIO
I think this was the fastest Rovio has released the update for PC and Android once it came out for the iPhone maybe Rovio has heard our voices finally
I don’t see pc release angry bird season v2.4.Why?
Try going to download.angrybirds.com. It is indeed available.
thank.i can update it.great!
The ice sinks into the water?
Why?
I thought ice must float on water…
More evidence to the theory that it may be glass, not ice.
The game names them “ice blocks” not “glass blocks”.
Angry Birds physics are never logic or real. In Angry Birds Space (where there should be no friction), moving blocks suddenly get slower and stop. It’s a contradiction to the Newton’s law of motion.
But it doesn’t in spaces where there is gravity.
Gravity cannot make a block stop in the middle of space.
Love that update. Some levels were challenging. I just used Mighty Eagle to skip them. The Golden Egg is very hard to get!!
@birdgamer I found the egg easy to get, but hard to get past.
YAY! Finally PC is updated! I can’t believe Rovio do this super fast!
Tried to get the new Seasons update on PC Windows XP. It was there to update, I checked to update, it said error and disappeared. I have tried it a few times since then today and it doesn`t even offer the update now. I rebooted and still it didn`t show up to update, Any ideas?
Tried manually updating by downloading the new installer from the site?
Thank you, IamMighty, that did the trick!
So what’s next…..Space or back to the original Angry Birds to finish off Surf & Turf as ther are still 30 levels on that which are apparently coming soon. Either way I cant’t wait for the next installment :)
Now when you play a different level from another chapter the pictures in the credits remain the same :(
Awww you’re right :'(. Why doing that rovio? I love rolling the credits to see the pictures in different chapters…
That disappointed me too. I don’t get why they did that, I doubt adding a few images to the data files and programming them in really takes that much time that it was necessary to make the credits non-unique.
:O I loved seeing the different seasons’ pictures in the credits!
font use on score also changed.
Oh no. I was so busy yesterday playing Piglantis that I forgot to take my daily Space Eagle! :-(
Does it say on Amazing Alex “Amazing Alex Out Now”?
I don’t have an iOs device and can’t connect with my Android!
I’m on a PC now…
It sais “play now”.
Play now?
So it means its out now?
You’re gonna play the game?
It’s not out yet.
Any clue it show play now?
On pc not show play now, only got that picture.
all it does is show you amazing alex’s facebook page
See my response above
Oh my!I thought about Angry Birds Atlantis 2 momths ago!And it was true!
when angry bird season v2.4 release symbian 3?Also angry bird v2.1 surf and turf too?
Rovio does not typically announce release dates for updates so we don’t know.
My guess is there will be no updates anymore. Even ingame update links does not work anymore
Hmm..now links are again working, sorry for wrong info. Still I would not be supprised if there would not be updates anymore
You would have to contact Rovio about this. We don’t have that information.
i’ve never been able to download angry birds from the original site due to some unknown reason..every time i click on download option..page never loads ! same thing happens on every browser. if you could send me the downloaded file of pc version to my mail
{email removed} ..i’ll be extremely grateful or else any other way to download it ??
You can’t email people executable files. Try clearing your Internet cache and attempting the download again from download.angrybirds.com. You may want to run your browser on “Private Browsing” to disable any conflicting add-ons.
tried it… nothings working :(
i open the page and “Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to drm-pc.angrybirdsgame.com” is displayed
I’ll contact you via email. I can’t send you the .exe, but I may be able to help nonetheless.
same thing’s happening..
Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to drm-pc.angrybirdsgame.com
only if there was some other site from where i could download the pc update.
This Is AWESOME !
i updated my angry birds season on PC, and i finished piglantis, then i entered it because i was bored, but they asked for my code to activate full version ! i entered it but it didn’t work ! please someone help me because i paid for the code once i dont want to pay for it again :(
You would have to contact Rovio about this. Be sure to include your order number when you contact them. We can’t do anything about activation issues.
The gameplay is awesome, but I wish rovio did a few other things with it:
1. Make Green bird’s feather’s green and not yellow when it hits something.
2. Make Big Brother’s bird’s feather’s dark red and not red when it hits something.
3. Make the birds on the info pages actually move like in ABO. Helps you understand it even more.
4. Make the arrow that appears when all the pigs are popped appear. Helps the game go faster, very helpful if you’re in a rush.
5. Make The level clear screen and level failed screen the same as ABO. I find the stars popping at you more exciting and i like the piggy smiling at you when you fail the level. Way less boring than the current one.
But there’s one thing that I wish ABO had that ABS has.
1. The music that occurs when you do beat a level. I like it.
This is a fun episode. I hope we see more water-based episodes or a sequel to this episode. I guess the only level that required shooting the birds under water was 1-1. Many other levels had the option to use the water. Once I got a feel for it, it was a lot of fun. Just have a few more levels to 3-star & then look forward to the rest of Surf & Turf and Utopia coming to iOS. Another good idea for Seasons would be the Mayan 2012 theme (which is calendar-based). Water could be used in this as well as that region of Mexico is full of cenotes (deep water-filled holes some of which lead to underwater caves).
I think you typed a mistake.
Treasure chests are worth 1,000 points, but they have quite challenging to break.
Shouldn’t it say they ARE quite challenging to break?
they have quite challenging to break sounds wrong.
We are human. We make typos from time to time, especially when we write posts very quickly.
I aggree
I have too agree.
I mean to. We all really do make mistakes.
Love the new 30 levels. I love 1-4!
So I think we will expect the next update on Halloween.And I know how I’m getting on @amslimfordy‘s nerves while I’m talking about ABS updates but I’m not going to mention anything about them until autumn or Halloween.
That seems so far away! Rovio had holidays that you wouldn’t normally think of this year, so who knows? they could come out with “Fry an egg on the sidewalk season” or something.
No kidding. I don’t usually post this kind of thing, but there are all kinds of celebrations going on around the world.
Here’s a link to unusual holidays and celebrations in 2012:
http://www.daysoftheyear.com/
Sushi day?Eat your vegetables day?Take your dog to work day?Are you kidding me???Hahahahah……But American eagle day sounds good.Maybe a ME day.
Hmmm… I saw Earth Day and that’s the 1 I only know.
Oh. I almost wrote something that didn’t make sense. I thought you were talking about ABChrome.
I want to give you some advice for the AB Seasons updates (only for PC I think. If you want the game to ask if you you want to install an update, you should first go and play a level of the last update (for example I played Cherry Blossom and then it asked me if I wanted Piglantis update.).
y
That’s not necessary…
